Fodor's Review:

The state capitol was designed by noted Philadelphia architect William Strickland (1788-1854), who was so impressed with his Greek Revival creation that he requested -- and received -- entombment behind one of the building's walls. On the grounds you'll also find the graves of the 11th U.S. president, James K. Polk, and his wife.
